Fishing in Dalyan

Dalyan means "fishing weir" in Turkish.

Bass, Mullet and Sea Bream swim upstream from the sea to Köyceğiz Lake where another large town of the region, Köyceğiz, is located. The fish spawn there, and when returning to the sea they are caught in the "dalyans".

Fishing around Dalyan is prohibited and Dalyan Dalko (the fishing cooperative) controls the fishing grounds.
